-D.I.Y. Now that it's summer it feels right to be doing/making a lot. there will be lots (hopefully) of d.i.y.s happening this summer. I already have a few in mind.

-Beach days. Bonfires. BBQs. These are some of my most favorite times with friends and I can't wait for more of them.

-San Francisco/Bay area. I'll be headed up north in less than two weeks! To be reunited with friends. I wish I was going tomorrow!

-Etsy. I haven't been very focused on my Etsy shop in the last couple months and when I went to check on it the other day I realized that I had no listings anymore, they've all expired. Goal: get better pictures of my product and revamp my shop.

-Books. I've been reading like a maniac these last few days and I am determined to keep it up over these next few months. As much as I hate to admit this, I almost forgot how much I love to read.

-Room. I almost forgot, I'm dying to re-do my bedroom. Even if all that means is to just rearrange the furniture. It just needs to be spruced up and I need a little change.

Yes, I do realize this list is not super extensive, but it's a start and I don't want to overwhelm myself with making a list so long that it just intimidates me. So for now, this will do.

It follows me around. All the time. Wherever I go. It's like I can't escape it, not that I want to.

When I lived in the womb we had this album on vinyl and listened to it at least 5 times a week. Probably more like once a day, (at least). All five of us were in love with this album.

(Jamie and I were in love when we saw this poster at our friends house in Oregon)

I have been hearing songs from this album at least every other day, either on the radio or at the store or pretty much anywhere I go. But I can't complain because it makes me happy and reminds me of the womb and living with my best friends.

Please do yourself a favor and listen to Rumours on this beautiful Sunday afternoon.

Now that it's summer I want to get back into reading again. I love reading, but for the last few months I've barely cracked open a book and that makes me sad. So I'm determined read at least a couple books this summer. First, I must finish Mocking Jay, by Suzanne Collins, which I've had a quarter of the way read since February, oops.

Then these are a few of the next books on my list.

Some I'v already read but want to read again because I love them so much.

I just recently gave my old cell phone to my brother because his broke, and I thought it would be fun to share some old photos that I rescued from it. Some of these pictures are years old...and looking through them all brought back memories from so many good times.

The other day I mentioned how into chevron I've been lately, well I'm also feeling chalkboard walls too. (Not to mention I came home from the preschool yesterday covered various colors in chalk dust, but it was fun!) I just think they're so fun for an open room in the house, a place where kids can draw or friends can leave you little notes when they come over. I also love the idea of having a chalk headboard or the wall behind your bed (like in 500 days of summer).

I was invited by my dear friend Jaymee about 2 months ago. Right around the same time thislady got an invite too. And at first I was just not that into it, but once I started pinning I couldn't stop!

I love it. Seriously, anytime throughout the day when I think of something I like, I look it up on pinterest and pin it to one of my boards. I even have the app on my iphone so I can look at pretty things while I'm on the go. It is addicting to look at pretty things and I am feeling inspired to start making things again. So be on the look out for new projects coming up.

here is just a very small sample of some of what I've been drooling over on pinterest:
